Schuyler - Seeing such a concentration of force that the Inner Sphere had landed on the planet the Fourth began to retreat to more favourable ground. For three days they retreated until eventually they took up defensive positions in the Mitsuhama Ridge, forming a line of battle. Their opponents the Davion Heavy Guards took up an attacking position to the east while on the western flank was the First Genyosha, in the centre was the Tenth Lyran Guards under the command of Prince Victor Steiner-Davion. It was the Lyran unit that attacked first on the 13th August with an aim to break the Fourth's line. The Jaguars used the terrain to their advantage and the weakest point in the centre was held by a full Trinary of mixed BattleMechs and OnmiMechs. This is the point that the Tenth pinpointed for its assault. Unknown to Prince Victor was that this defile was held only by an Omega Star led by Star CommanderElyssia Furey in her Gargoyle. Her unit fought a successful delaying action against Lyran forces, personally led by Prince Victor. Star Commander Furey and her Star sold their lives dearly allowing the bulk of the Clan forces on planet to escape.[5][6]
